BK Birla Centre for Education is a world class Senior Secondary Co- Ed Day cum Boys Residential CBSE affiliated School. Located just 126 km from Mumbai. It’s a school which is ranked among the 3 top residential boys schools in the Country.
Academic Block
The academic block is a two-storeyed structure with spacious classrooms that are designed to optimise natural light and ventilation. The classrooms and laboratories are fitted with specially designed, modern, ergonomic furniture that ensures that pupils do not suffer fatigue.
The modern science and computer laboratories, the audio/visual room and the art activity centres are also housed in the academic block.
Hostel Blocks
The boarding school has five hostel blocks that accommodate students, house masters, tutors, the ward boys/ the ayahs (matrons). Each hostel block is a two-storeyed structure divided into dormitories, residential flats, common rooms and a study room for students.
The residential hostels have been designed for comfort, privacy and safety. Each block can accommodate 96 students, who are cared for by the resident house parent, two or three house tutors, and a ward boy or a matron. The house parent is responsible for medical, academic and personal progress records of the wards under his care. He and the house tutors are always accessible to the students and form a close network of advice and counsel.
Dormitories are spacious and well ventilated with all the modern amenities. Each dormitory can house 12 students and is designed to allow for privacy with a separate niche and cupboard for each child. The common bathrooms are also fitted with modern conveniences. Senior students (classes XII) have much more privacy with twin-sharing rooms to call their own.
Each hostel block has a common room where the students can enjoy their hours of leisure. Each common room is uniquely designed and equipped with a music system and a television where approved channels are available from the school’s dish antenna.
Dining Hall
The spacious dining hall is located conveniently in a separate building and is easily accessible from the various hostel blocks. Food is prepared in hygienic conditions under the supervision of an experienced Mess Manager. The modern kitchen is equipped with a deep freezer, a water cooler, modern cooking gadgets and a bakery.
The school also has a expert dietician who ensures that the students enjoy well-balanced, nutritious, vegetarian meals. The dietician also involves the children in the process of defining the weekly menu incorporating their suggestions, while taking care of any specific dietary requirements the students may have.
The teachers also dine in the dining hall, helping build the bond between student and teacher. Informal mealtime conversations give students a chance to mix with the faculty without making an appointment or sitting in an office. These interactions help the children approach their teachers in a comfortable environment that then extends to general school life.
